Adjusting fused salt electrolytic bath with higher valency salt

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A T I O N, T I T L E, "METHOD OF ADJUSTING CONCENTRATION OF A COMPONENT IN A FUSED SALT ELECTROLYTIC BATH", ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE, A high valency salt such as TiC14 is reduced to a lower, valency salt such as TiC12 and/or TiC13 within a fused salt electrolytic bath via electrolysis so that an improved electrodeposition of a desired metal or alloy, such as Ti, occurs, from such adjusted bath. The process generally comprises adding a higher valency salt of a desired metal or alloy to a fused salt electrolytic bath reducing the higher, valency salt on a cathode electrode to a lower valency salt removing, the so-produced lower valency salt from the electrode surface and maintaining a …
